Honda Malaysia: Buy New Civic-R and win a trip to Japanese F1 GP Suzuka

[Tom]

Surely a great fun car to drive but the horrendous rice boyish style just turns me off completely. A45 anytime any day over this.

beauty lies in the eye of the beholder
I'm on the other side of the fence actually, and I quite fancy the look of the new R to be honest
I think Honda did great by pushing the envelope to make this radical design a reality

This I agree. I personally don't like the styling of this CTR, I like the FD2R. BUT if i were to buy the FD2R i wouldn't be too happy with all the Tipu-R running around.

The styling is bold and fresh, and something radically different. This is a toy, and for a toy, you wan't something out of this world and not conform to the norm.

The current Impreza STI, you can remove the Subaru logo in the front, put on a Toyota or Mitsubishi badge and nobody would bat an eyelid. I find the V7 bug eye more iconic than the current one, tho the current one looks more "mass market". Not saying its ugly but nothing special.

Well to me it just has too many fake holes and stuff, just way too busy design. Maybe what you guys call "Ah Beng" styling? :lol: I'm ok with different aggressive styling but to me this just went way overboard. I guess like what bro VR2 has indicated, I may have passed the age group for that kind of stuff. :lol:

Hard to say. After you’ve driven it maybe you’ll feel different.

Well as I said I'm sure it's a great fun car to drive but I really doubt it will change the way I feel about the styling. I very seldom change my mind on those sort of things. There are many great cars that I still never like to see or own no matter what.

The reason why I say you feel different driving it... is because from the INSIDE you won’t see it’s styling. LOL

Hahaha well yeah but I'd already see it from the outside first before getting into the car and since I already see it as ugly, that thought will never disappear. Exterior look is very important criteria for me when buying a car coz I'd have to see it everyday. If it's a sore to my eyes then that's it, no chance no matter how good the car is. It needs to have the best balance between performance and looks, and I'm willing to compromise a bit on the performance rather than taking a car which is the best performing but too ugly to see.
